Grey Blanket - Finished

With the end in sight, I've been crocheting away like mad the last few days and it's a good feeling to look at the finished article.

It measures 50 inches square and I used double knitting weight yarn throughout. The little squares are based on the Never Fading Flowers pattern, which is available as a free Ravelry download, here. I must admit that I went wrong on the second round of the pattern, which is silly really as I have used this pattern before, for Eve's blanket. Having completed a number of squares incorrectly, I decided to carry on regardless and so long as I'm consistent, what does it matter.

After completing the little squares the rest of the blanket was very much a case of making it up as I went along and I'm very pleased with the way the border turned out.

I don't know what I'm going to do with the blanket now it's finished, my husband has helpfully pointed out that we have enough blankets already - but one more won't hurt! I always think crochet blankets look lovely folded and piled up together - they make everything so homely.

I live in Liverpool, UK, with my wonderful husband. I have two amazing girls, who are all grown up now and have flown the nest. I love knitting, crocheting and many more crafts - I'm happiest when I'm creating.
I love being inspired by the blogs I read and the pictures I see on Pinterest. I hope that, in turn, I can be an inspiration, through my blog, to others.

All the patterns on my blog are free for you to download for your personal use - I enjoy sharing. However, they are my patterns so please respect my work and do not sell the patterns or anything made from the patterns for profit. Thank you.
